  • Publication number: 20170053191
    Abstract: A monitor target shooting information generation unit extracts, from each of a plurality of images, as information to be used for estimating the identify of a monitor target, monitor target identification information that is identification information of the monitor target, and the monitor target shooting information generation unit then generates multiple pieces of monitor target shooting information each including both the extracted monitor target identification information and a shooting time at which the monitor target was shot. An appearance history generation unit generates, from the generated multiple pieces of monitor target shooting information, an appearance history of the monitor target that has been estimated to be identical. A determination unit determines the monitor target the appearance history of which matches a specified rule.

  • Patent number: 8155569
    Abstract: A toner cartridge has a toner storage chamber, a discharge outlet, a conveying screw, and a blocking wall. The discharge outlet serves to send out toner stored in the toner storage chamber, and the conveying screw serves to convey the toner stored in the toner storage chamber. Further, before the toner cartridge mounted into an image forming apparatus, the blocking wall is located in a space between a toner area, which is an area in the toner storage chamber where the toner exists, and the discharge outlet, thereby putting the space in a blocked state. The toner cartridge further includes a driving mechanism for, when the toner cartridge has been mounted into the image forming apparatus, driving the conveying screw by power transmitted from the image forming apparatus, so as to cancel the blocked state.
